CEBU CITY, Philippines— The Don Bosco Technology Center (DBTC) Greywolves and the University of Southern Philippines-Foundation (USP-F) Panthers got off to a strong start in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (Cesafi) football tournament, which kicked off over the weekend at the University of San Carlos (USC) Talamban campus.
The Greywolves, the high school defending champions, overwhelmed their rivals, the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) Magis Eagles, 8-0, last Saturday, October 14, 2023.
Meanwhile, the USP-F Panthers welcomed the newcomers, University of the Philippines (UP)-Cebu Fighting Maroons, with a 3-1 victory in the college division on Sunday, October 15, 2023.

Robert Daanoy led the Greywolves’ lopsided win with a hat trick, which he tallied in the 11th, 42nd, and 45th minutes of this Cesafi football game.
His teammates Joross Tabar and Mark Talingting then each scored a brace, or two goals, each.
Tabar logged his brace at the 38th and 90th minutes, while Talingting had his fair share of the limelight, scoring two goals at the 55th and 89th minutes.
John Tabar joined the scoring spree with one goal, which he scored at the fifth minute.
Besides DBTC and USP-F, the University of Cebu (UC) Webmasters also had a convincing start by beating UP-Cebu, 5-0, on Saturday, before the latter was defeated by the Panthers in the college division.
In the other college matches over the weekend, the defending champions USC Warriors settled for two successive draws, one against USP-F (0-0) last Saturday, and another one versus UC (0-0) on Sunday.
USC’s high school squad also ended its match against University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) with a scoreless draw.
